At Bass, Berry & Sims, we prioritize attorney development and foster a people-first culture. When it comes to seeking attorneys for open positions, we prioritize quality collaborative and tenacious individuals with diverse backgrounds. We aim to cultivate the growth of each individual who becomes part of our firm and endeavor to meet the goals of each attorney and the needs of our clients. The experienced attorneys who join our firm are integral to the firm’s ability to provide excellent client service. They meaningfully contribute to every practice area, team and industry group within the firm with many of our key leadership positions being held by former lateral attorneys.
We recruit and maintain a talented and diverse team of attorneys within our offices. Embracing diversity and inclusion strengthens who we are as a firm and enhances the services we can provide to our clients. To this end, we have devoted substantial recruitment efforts to attracting and developing industry-leading attorneys who will bring a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences to our team.
